Desecration Rag

Who desecrates the flag

Is it the torturers?

The architects of preemptive strikes

the renderers

the lawyers and liars

the racists

the nationalists

those who attack the homosexuals

those who proclaim a Christian state

those who call murdered children collateral damage

or those who spit on it for what it's become

to many patriotic Americans

"In Bottom-Up, Rob Kall offers important insights on why our society is in such disarray and what we must do to change it. He demonstrates how "top down" thinking is what has produced our current mess, and how bottom up thinking is much more efficient for solving problems and producing change. Rob shows how lasting change must come from the people themselves and not from the leaders. This was as true in the days of the Magna Carta as it was for the Bill of Rights as it was for the Union movement that first gave workers' rights and protection in this country, as it is today. Indigenous elders have told me, "if you want to change the world, start talking and keep talking." Rob is doing this with this book and with his OpEdNews, and he is making a difference. I recommend this book to all who wish to see lasting, human-friendly, compassionate change that will sustain humanity is this crazy world of today."
